Janel and Williams Wedding was one for the books! One of the most genuine, and lovely couples we have ever had the opportunity to work with. We wish we could start all over and do it again! Even more exciting is that they are expecting a baby! Congratulations Janel & William!

Whether you’re planning a Tea Party, Engagement or Wedding… this is a timeless look!

1. Contemporary Jumpsuits : This may be a traditional garden setting, but we can make it contemporary. Jumpsuits are making their way into the bridal fashion industry more than ever! Add a day hat, and you are set!

2. Flowers for Favors : Make your guests feel special! This personal miniature bouquet on each place setting is just precious! The striped and textured table linen brings a modern flare to this traditional theme.

An all time favorite movie of mine! The fact that Ryan Gosling is one of the main characters is just a bonus!

A Blue Valentine Inspired Wedding is for a couple that is youthful and full of passion! This mood board shows deep, rich colors contrasted by the light, and natural woods. I felt that copper would be a fitting metallic as it is associated with the matters of love & lust.

This trend consists of lots of peek-a-boos found along silhouette’s sides, underneath the neckline, and even on the skirts. These geometric cut outs can be found with or without the more modest lace inset.

The signature drink has become as popular at weddings as the cake – and for some, even more anticipated! A well-placed signature cocktail can be a great way to express yourselves as a couple. Jeremy Wischmeyer with the Art of Craftmade us some delicious cocktails for our couple’s upcoming wedding. This wedding is taking place at a beach venue in San Clemente, and glass isn’t allowed…so we had to be creative! We are so lucky to have found Jeremy who makes signature cocktails in kegs! Yes, Kegs! Here are some of the yummy drinks we tried, and to be honest we are in a dilemma one which ones to choose!

1. Feather details: Feathers are simple, inexpensive and add a bit of dreamy, whimsical aesthetic. You can incorporate feathers anywhere from the dress and shoes to bouquets, boutonnieres, place settings, escort cards or even your cake! Whether it’s dipped in gold and sparkles or left natural, I think this is a great detail to add to any wedding element!
2. Sustainable Favors: Going Green is not an all or nothing. If you even add just one touch of green that’s good for the environment. Giving a plant as a favor is a trend that will continue, and gives your guest a memory that will last much after your wedding is over.
3. Boutonnieres: Let’s change it up, and get fun! Feathers, berries, and some BoHo inspiration. I love when I see such a traditional piece take a modern spin. Check out the link here to see all the fun options on Etsy!
4. Invitations: This trend is straight from the hand – Add some watercolor, and fun elements, and you’ll have your RSVPS coming in hot! Hand calligraphy is timeless, and adds a personal touch to any event!
5. Put a Tee-Pee on it!: Need I say more? It’s a tee-pee! It’s festive to say the least, and also ads a fun getaway spot if you can get away from your guests for a moment and grab a quick kiss!
6. Fun Wedding Photos: Make it an adventure! Take a road trip, and have a photo-shoot! Throw in a retro campervan, a beautiful desert backdrop, and poof… magic!
7. Ear Cuffs: You’ve seen them on all the hottest stars on the red carpet, and now brides are starting to rock it too! Pearl/diamond-studded and petite ear cuffs are delectate and understated, while stone and chains can be edgy, and statement pieces.
8. Flash Tattoos: This Metallic tattoo has recently hit the scene, and is the go-to accessory for festivals, beach vacations, concerts and pool parties, and now weddings!
9. Modern Pastel Wedding Cakes: With Spring here, it has us thinking about light color palettes, and our love for pastels. Pastels are back, and trending in 2015. From bridesmaid dresses, to décor and wedding cakes, pastels are getting a fresh update. You can modernize by adding metallic accents and trending patterns and motifs such as Aztec inspired triangle designs.
